For convenience (less code duplication), the pin controller pin configuration register values were defined in the bindings header. These are not some IDs or other abstraction layer but raw numbers used in the registers. These constants do not fit the purpose of bindings. They do not provide any abstraction, any hardware and driver independent ID. In fact, the Linux pinctrl-single driver actually do not use the bindings header at all. Commit f2de003e1426 ("dt-bindings: pinctrl: k3: Deprecate header with register constants") already moved users to the local header, so, drop the binding header. See background discussion in [1]. While at it, clean up the MAINTAINERS file which is the only reference left.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
